In return for these services a Network Owner takes a cut of the advertising revenue from a channel before being distributed to the channel owner. Sometimes this can be as high as 20% which only leaves 35% for the YouTube creator.

Remember this is ongoing revenue, and doesn’t require you to create any videos. And the more views your YouTuber’s make the more money will end up in your pocket.
